Zero Kilometer. Songs of the Constellation of Hunting Dogs

Satirical prose by Ivan Okhlobystin tells of the tragicomic adventures of what seem like ordinary heroes in simple provincial towns. But the perceptive writer knows: in life there is nothing “ordinary” at all! Laughter and tears, genuine human dramas, and absurd twists of fate keep our attention from the very first to the last line of this fantastic book. It’s both dynamite and fireworks. A book like the act of a mad clown who, in the past, used to be a humanist writer… or a nuclear physicist. In the best traditions of Gabriel García Márquez—and at the same time very Russian in spirit.
